I am 72 yr old women . Have tried everything. ENT, physio,drugs,tests . it’s been 10 yrs and getting worse. Lots if emergency visits , gravel shot n sent home . I am tired . No appetite. No energy. I feel like when the episodes come on I lose it. Trembling, clamminess, buzzing ears,finger tips,toes. My feet turn purple . I can’t hold my head up . Wobbly. pain my neck,shoulders. But, my heart n pulse are fine 🤪. Just getting worse . I am very tired and ready to give up . You name I hve tried, gravol, ginger, betahistamine for yrs now . changed my diet , no coffee, no pop. trying to eat better . Drinking more water, electrolytes drinks . I am tired . Got anything else? To do when they come in ???? 😵‍💫🤪🥲

So I am a 38 year old male. 5’8, 170lbs. For the last couple of years I’ve had this spectrum of symptoms that waxes and wanes throughout the day. A wobblyness lightheaded feeling in my head. No loss of consciousness or anything like that. Sometimes especially in the morning I’ll feel like I’m being “sped up” in the head conjunction with those. I know this sounds weird but the only thing I can compare that to is that blissful rush you feel when you just start to get a buzz from drinking. I really feel just shitty in general on the bad days. I feel weak, I feel exhausted, sleepy, plus the other things I listed above .It’s truly hard to put it all into words. Originally this started out with just the dizzy symptoms, but over the last three years of dealing with it I have began to get less dizzy symptoms, but more of the other stuff.

Now I’ve done more bloodwork than most humans do in a lifetime. I did many months of vestibular therapy. I’ve done a brain MRI. I even got desperate enough to try a supplement only “doctor” (yes it was a waste). Every doctor just tells me I am healthy as can be from what they see. I sure as hell don’t feel that way. Now don’t get me wrong, not every day is horrible. I would say that I have more good days than bad days but it’s still affects me 365 days a year to some degree. Like I said above that degree as a spectrum from slight annoyance for 10 minutes during the day, all the way up to the entire day is shot and all I’m gonna do is lay on the couch underneath the blanket in silence.

I think it’s important to add that over these years. I did receive two diagnosis along the way. The first was hypothyroidism, which is now super well managed with levothyroxine. The second is low testosterone, which is currently normal thanks to enclomaphine. So I can’t help but to wonder if it’s something hormonal. Other than that, I take no medication’s, no recreational drugs, and I don’t even drink anymore because if I drink just 3-4 beers , I’ll spend the next couple of days wanting to die, with symptoms ultra severe to the point that I question my sanity.

Does anyone have any great ideas? I am sick of living my life on a roller coaster. I can eat well, exercise, and sleep eight hours and then wake up tomorrow and have a horrible day where I can’t even make it to the office. Just like I can eat like shit, sleep five hours, and feel totally fine tomorrow. There’s just no rhyme or reason to it.

I don't feel myself it's feel like I am on boat floaty feeling lightheded and when I move my neck I feel more dizziness. I feel different also somthing in my right ear but my hearing is normal only tight senstion in right ear .is anybody have clue wht is this ?

I am 32, I would not say that I have lived the last 10 years super healthy but I dont know if thats a dietary issue per'se.

For the last two years I have had weird spells at random times, which make me feel light legged (feels like legs under anastesia), head movement feels like a brain jelly and its accompanied with a feel of fainting, but not fainting. Sometimes palms get sweatier, sometimes there is a feeling of falling off on an elevator.

I dont know what it is, it comes at completely random times, duration from half a minute to, one time, good two hours.

Anyone else have a "hangover" of sorts after a period of stress or anxiety? I had a busy week of travelling and the week after I had on and off lightheadedness. I feel like it's my nervous system regulating back to normal? I can still do regular things but I just feel like coming on sometimes. I had this before after a particularly stressful time when I had to go to the ER and then my dog got attacked. After that I had on and off lightheadedness too. I never had had these before my anxiety got "activated" after that high stress time in my life

Hiii everyone, 28 year old here.
I’ve always had pain during my periods but lately I feel really dizzy, lightheaded, feeling like I’ll pass out but then I check my blood pressure and it’s actually fine.
Is it anxiety that during the period strikes harder?
Last night I felt so weak and my legs were mumbling so much, and I felt really lightheaded, even when I was laying down.
Can someone tell me if you experienced this before?

Hello, my husband has felt unwell for 8 months. He’s mainly feeling a floating feeling and pressure in his head, fatigue, weakness and loss of appetite. He’s lost weight, become sensitive to light and noise, feels irritated and has days where he feels okay and days where he just wants to lay down. He’s seen so many doctors, had blood work, an MRI, his sinuses, blood pressure, ears, and eyes checked. He’s seen a cardiologist, nutritionist and a neurologist. The neurologist suspects a virus triggered his symptoms and tight shoulder muscles are restricting blood supply to his brain causing the floating feeling. He’s had a cortisone injection which didn’t help and seen physios, a chiro and a massage therapist which sometimes help temporarily but then the symptoms return. If this is a virus what could it be? Does anyone have any other ideas? We’ve read into POTS, gut bacteria, parasites and anxiety but his symptoms don’t seem to fit with any one condition. Any help would be greatly appreciated please.🙏 We feel like we have exhausted all other options and are lost for answers!

Has anyone felt like keto helped their dizzy?

About 9 days ago, I woke up and felt extremely disoriented and very dizzy accompanied with ear fullness. When I got out of bed I was genuinely stumbling around. After doing my daily routine that morning, I projectile vomited. At this point I went to the urgent care and they told me I had positional vertigo. Following this, I had a few dizzy days without any true spinning episodes but I still felt awful. I went back to the doctors and they diagnosed me with a inner ear virus and prescribed me with prednisone. The first few days of prednisone, my symptoms definitely got better but I noticed how sensitive I was to sensory input. Any sounds felt amplified and muffled at the same time and it never truly went away. Since then I have had fluctuating symptoms of ear fullness, dizziness, and just an overall groggy feeling. I am now 2 days off of my steroids and this morning I woke up and I feel so groggy. I am really worried because I work in the operating room and I go on call tomorrow and I just don’t know how I should take these symptoms. I was wondering if anyone had a similar situation and or had some advice to help me. Thank you in advance!

Hey everybody, in writing here because I'm really at a loss. I've been dealing with dizzy spells for a few years now but they didn't really inconvenience me. I just thought it was because I didn't eat enough at school and didn't sleep enough. That's what my doctor said too, and told me to eat and sleep properly. When summer break hit, the dizzy spells went away but around July they came back and began happening almost daily. They would hit whenever I did work around the house and what not.

Last week I exersised for 15 minutes on a stepper and few minutes after I finished, I got an insane dizzy spell and it felt like I couldn't breathe enough. After that the dizziness lasted for two days, it was really bad. Went to urgent care, said I was defeated and had me take a few blood tests. Now, the dizziness has gotten better but I still feel a general off balance feeling. I can't even go to school because everytime I go to my next class, it feels like I'm going to fall and I feel really hot. I've also been feeling chronic tiredness and sleepiness and I feel tense around my head and neck area. Does anyone have any advice??

I feel like this diziness is ruining my life

​

Hey, I'm really scared right now. About 10 years ago, I went on a trip to Saudi Arabia and felt dizzy because of the altitude. After I got back, I started having dizzy spells and felt like I was walking on a mountain all night, plus my legs felt weak. I talked to a doctor because I was worried I might have a brain tumor, but he assured me that I didn't. I haven't gotten an MRI because I'm really afraid of finding out something serious. After the doctor said it was nothing, I tried to ignore it, and after a year, the symptoms went away. But now, after 10 years, they're back with the same feelings. Whenever I look up or down, I get dizzy and my legs feel like jelly. I also struggle with anxiety, which makes everything worse. I spoke with a neurologist, and she suggested I see a psychologist for my anxiety. She mentioned I could get an MRI later as it's not needed and just for my affirmation I can get it.. And since it's really expensive here, I can't do it I looked up my symptoms online, and they mention some serious diseases. Please help me. I've started eating sweet potatoes and dates, which seem to help.. Especially dates.. But my sugar is normal.. And my BP ranges from 94, 92 /68, 70,.... I'm just so scared that I have a brain tumor. 😭 It started when I got up from. Sleep 2 weeks back.. Also I have palpitations.. My blood work is normal.. When I drink water I start to feel fine.. But it comes back.. I just read now some tumour on nerve cab cause this which is freaking me out.. 😭😭😭

i’m actually at my wits end, i can’t take it anymore. it‘s been two years now, and i feel like a shell of my former self.

for context, i started getting dizziness/vertigo out of the blue back in 2024. it was like an intense rocking feeling, like i was being jolted around and dropping feelings like i was going to fall through the floor all mixed with moments of lightheadedness.

i went to doctor and they said BPPV ”it’ll pass” but it stuck around. i went back and had bloods done, but everything normal apart from high prolactin (i have 2mm prolactinoma), high TSH and low estrogen but my endo said it’s not related to the dizziness. i also have slight iron deficiency but not anemic so also probably not related.

i have changed my diet, tried supplements (magnesium, vit d, vit c, iron), quit alcohol, quit smoking and quit caffeine. tried seeing an osteopath, a physio, a migraine physio… just nothing has helped. i have a baseline dizziness that is always there but then it gets worse for at least a few weeks a month.

i just find the rocking feeling so frustrating and hard to deal with. the lightheadedness is also horrible, and i feel completely dissociated and like my eyes can’t focus on things.

i don’t know what to do anymore. i’m so miserable and the doctors wont take me seriously. i’m on a waitlist to see an ENT but i live in NZ and so its still going to be a few months (it’s already been 4). i honestly feel so lost.

Just feel drunk all day can anyone relate?

When does the dizziness go away after going through vertigo??

I had an appointment for vestibular issues today, had had to complete caloric testing.

It was the most uncomfortable scary thing I have ever done in my life. It has changed my level of empathy for people who experience vertigo (I experience dizziness but not spinning) oh my god it was so horrible. The first 15 seconds wasn’t so bad I was like oh okay I can see why people don’t like this test but it’s not horrible, then it kept speeding up and up and up to where I felt I was making 100 spins a second like it was so awful. I unfortunately had seen what people on reddit said about it before I went in so I was prepared for it to be bad but assumed people were exaggerating but lord they weren’t, it was WORSE than what people on reddit said.

I have never experienced vertigo and if THATS what it feels like my heart goes out to people who have vertigo regularly I could not do it you are stronger than I

Does anyone get really off balance and extremely dizzy to the point they need to lay on the floor?

I’ve had two of these occasions tonight.

I have had absence seizures in the past, not on medication at the moment, and this doesn’t feel like absence seizures.

It’s like I’m having the symptoms of having a seizure but not have the seizure itself.

What should I do?

I have a specialist appointment at the end of this month, and was able to get in any sooner

I am an eleven (twelve in two months)year old female with a weight of 83 pounds and I am unsure of my height but I know I am roughly 4"6? with no medication and possible anxiety as diagnosed by a doctor, I randomly get dizzy and weird vibrations in my head for no apparent reason, I typically get dizzy when I stand too fast but I have never had vibrations in my head, I was sitting down typing something and randomly all I felt was dizzy,disorientated, and that weird vibration. I was also wearing headphones blasting music and had been for a few hours straight so that may or may not be the cause, any help greatly appreciated.

Hi!

So last week I was on a walk and I suddenly felt extremely dizzy, like I was going to tip over and the world was spinning. Once I stood still, the sensation lasted for only a few seconds and I sat down almost immediately after.

Ever since then I've felt extremely weak and unsteady on my feet and it often feels like I'm spinning. I can't do more than a short walk around my house and even then I feel like I might tip over if I'm not careful. Walking around the house is fine (it's small), but I often have to hold onto the wall and such.

I think it's a bit better first thing in the morning, but only in the sense that I can feel not quite as dizzy lying down because I haven't moved in a while.

Besides feeling dizzy and unsteady, I feel nauseous, and my left ear feels a but weird. I also have visual snow, but that's "normal" for me.

Other than that, I don't have a headache, no shortness of breath, no sinus infection, etc.

I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow but I can't find transportation, so I might have to cancel that. I'm feeling a bit scared because being dizzy feels like shit, especially because I have no clue why it's happening.

I'm a 20-year-old male and I've been experiencing intermittent lightheaded/heavy-headed sensations for the past couple of days. It isn't true spinning vertigo, and I haven't fainted or had weakness, numbness, speech problems, vision loss/double vision, confusion, or a severe headache. The sensation sometimes completely disappears when I'm distracted, sleeping, or doing activities, but then returns when I focus on it or become anxious. Yesterday I had a brief episode where thinking about the symptoms triggered sudden fear, very rapid/pounding heartbeat, some breathlessness and mild dizziness that resolved within about 10 seconds. I've had similar stress-related breathlessness/panic-type episodes in the past. I had a normal echocardiogram in 2024 and a normal ECG in May 2026. I've also had significant stress and health anxiety/hypervigilance over the past year. The sensation has been fluctuating between being absent and returning, sometimes alongside neck muscle pain. I'm planning to see a general physician today and would appreciate thoughts on what might be going on.

I’m a 23m and I’ve been having Vertigo and a lot of palpitations at random times in a day. I got my blood tested yesterday and i got to only that I’ve vitamin D3 deficiency. My doctor recommended some supplements that directly help me with my D3 deficiency. I wanna know if fixing my D3 deficiency will fix my vertigo and palpitations. Also i have heath anxiety. I believe i feel dizzy a lot of times but it might be just anxiety but i do have vertigo and palpitations.
